But that's precisely the point: Carver doesn't have the necessary knowledge to pull this sort of thing off. He may know the general layout of the building, but does he know how long each hallway is? Does he know exactly how far the illusion needs to run before turning a corner? Is he familiar with the height of each step on the staircases such that the illusion can climb them convincingly? If he doesn't have precise measurements of all these things that he can't see, then the deception will be unmasked almost immediately. It's like playing a game of 3-dimensional blindfolded 'Operation' via remote control.

Again, I have no problem with Carver instantly creating complex illusions; As you said, that sort of thing would be second nature to him. But by the same token, guiding them blindly in any significant way should be a serious challenge.
